Project Key: leave empty or enter a project name to limit the scope of this notification only for it

Events: Issue Created

Condition: !issue.isSubTask()

Event: Issue Created (only parents)

Finally, navigate to “Project settings -> Your project -> Notifications” and then “Actions -> Edit”. At the bottom there is the newly created custom event “Issue Created (only parents)”. Add one or more recipients and enjoy.

A quick note when testing the custom event. If you added only yourself as the recipient of the new event, JIRA won’t send you an email when the event fired. JIRA correctly thinks that it doesn’t make sense to notify the creator of the issue, as he or she already knows what they did. Therefore, in order to test this properly, you need to add someone else’s account or group, and then create a new test issue. Or do it vice versa by adding your account and let someone else create a new test issue.

Here are a few uncompressed video samples from my BlackVue Wi-Fi 2 Channel DR550GW-2CH car recorder. Each two files represent a capture from the front and from the rear camera. I’ve tried to demonstrate the performance under different light conditions.

I’ve been using the camera in an always-on mode via the Power Magic PRO. This produces a footage even when the car is parked. So far I had no problems with the accumulator when leaving the car parked for a day or two.

This was followed by an email with subject “Google Account: sign-in attempt blocked”, which was a very useful hint by Google!

It turns out that they are now blocking login attempts from apps or devices that do not use modern security standards, according to their “Less secure apps” documentation.

Once I enabled the “Access for less secure apps”, I was able to export my Google sites using “google-sites-liberation”. It’s highly recommended that you disable the less secure authentication once you’ve finished the backup.

I recently migrated my desktop back to Windows, and while I’m at work I need to have regular screenshots of my monitor, for investigation and other purposes. I easily found a solution to record desktop activity by making regular screenshots on Ubuntu, and I thought that Windows solutions will be even more. It turned out to be the opposite — they were all either paid or not working/lacking features.

Here is how “Auto Screen Capture FV” was born. Two screenshots of the interface follow:

Today I woke up and found out that many of my domains aren’t working. I’m using ResellerClub (aka. DirectI) free DNS and free Domain Forwarding. Well, they deleted all my DNS records. The Domain Forwarding service stopped working too.

I’ve filed a support ticket with an “Emergency” priority. Let’s see what happens now… I’ll keep you updated.

UPDATE: Instead of just fixing things, ResellerClub really disappointed me. I am their long-term and very faithful customer, but now I see that I shouldn’t have trusted them so much.

It took two days for ResellerClub’s support to respond with the following ridiculous statement:

DNS records are merely record entries made in the server, and not a space occupying entity for which a ‘backup’ would be available/generated.
Hence there is no backup for the records at our end.

ResellerClub keep no backup whatsoever of their DNS and Domain Forwarding configurations! The explanation of this fact is hilarious — because DNS records do not occupy space. 🙂

This really pissed me off, and I asked them how they could operate without a backup. What if the disks of their DNS or database servers fail? What if an operator deletes a record by mistake? The answer by ResellerClub’s support was that they monitor their servers, so this is not an issue. Ha-ha! Since when is monitoring a substitution of backups?? Furthermore, they added that the system was fully automated, so no operator’s mistake was possible. I replied that even if the system operates automatically, it is still being maintained by humans, who may delete data by mistake. How would they explain why my DNS and forwarding data was lost…

Anyway, no need to dig into this any further. I re-created the DNS records, and also learnt an important lesson — never trust an (IT) organization unless you really know that they operate in a professional way by following all well-established principles in the industry. ResellerClub ain’t one of them!

Before even getting any deeper in the process, I first contacted StartSSL and asked them if they stand behind their words, that once verified (one time-fee $49.90/yr), a customer of theirs can issue an unlimited count of wild-card certificates. I got a pretty quick response by StartSSL stating that this is indeed true, there’s no catch.

After that I started the process of verification – registered, submitted documents, etc. There were many unknown things to me and I had to ask their support many questions (I won’t go into details as I can’t disclose all of it), and we’re almost at the end – they send me a verification postal mail. Once I get the code, we should be done.

But this post is not only about my success with StartSSL – it’s about their very quick, accurate and helpful Support service. You guys rock!
